Debate about baby shower gifts with bf

in Pregnant after a Loss
Ok, so my shower was this weekend, and I got a few items from the dollar store. Bibs and baby spoons and plates don't bother me, but lotion and baby gel (flame if you want), I would never use this stuff on my daughter or myself, but I don't want to throw it away. My bf said it was tacky for people to shop at the dollar store for baby gifts. I said maybe they didn't have a lot and it was the thought that counted. WDYT?

    i think times are really tough right now and they probably didn't want to show up empty handed...so they wanted to get you a little something. granted, the dollar store doesn't have high quality stuff but i agree, it's the thought that counts.

    I agree with you.  It's definitely the thought that counts!  Instead of throwing it away though, I am sure a women's shelter would love that as a donation!

    DH and I plan on buying most things ourselves so anything we get at the shower is just an added bonus.  I know that in the past I havent been the best shower buyer just b/c I was broke.  Granted I never bought anything at the dollar store but I would buy just one outfit just to give something.

    This was my idea exactly.  I wouldn't use $ tree products on LO's skin.

    I'm with you all, its the thought that counts. Pass the stuff that you don't want onto someone that could use them.

    Hope you enjoyed your shower.

    I also agree. It's the thought that counts. She probably wanted to give you a gift but was limited w/ the funds but didn't want to show up empty handed.

    You can always donate the items you don't want to a woman's shelter. Im sure they'll gladly take it!
